ZDNet's David Gerwitz is the next to flame Windows

[MikeSo]

My least favorite ZDNet writer. He just never writes anything interesting... and this time was no exception.

Looks like someone paid a hefty sum to verge and zdnet writers. otherwise how come everyone writing similar articles at once. it all seems like planned up thing.

Yeah, I think you're right. Someone paid them a little something extra. However, I think they liked getting paid for something they were willing to do to start with, simply because of their bias.

MS could do the same thing with several publications, if they were so inclined to do so. They just don't seem to be inclined to do so.

This could be a major reason for the MS bashing. Perhaps these writers are telling MS, "Hey, pay a fee, and we'll give you favorable reviews." The word "fee" here is pronounced "bribe".

I use mac... To make mac and cheese



I had bought a mac to get back into iOS programming... Long story short, I returned it after a couple of days... While returning it, the return guy was asking why? Just so happened, another employee showed up to check that everything was in the box and stated sneezing when he touched the Mac... My response was, "he must be allergic to Macs too".... The guy sneezing started laughing, the first guy I was dealing with started to get a little miffed. (sry of topic, had to share)

I've always found it strange when tech bloggers leave the Windows ecosystem. They're always like, "HEY GUYS LOOK, I TOTALLY LEFT WINDOWS! YOU GUYS ARE FOOLS IF YOU DON'T LEAVE WINDOWS TOO!"

When tech bloggers switch between iOS/Android, they be like, "......."

The problem is that it still seems to be cool to hate on Microsoft regardless of the remarkable changes they've gone through.

I do use Linux occasionally.

Which distro? Edit: Never mind. I see its Mint.

We aren't taking it personally. What I personally find hard to grasp is why this so called tech journalist found a need to write a flamebait article about switching to a different platform. Lots of people switch platforms but no-one bothers to write an article about it. I just feel that this guy decided to write the article as a means to show hate for all things Microsoft.

I don't think it's uncommon to write about that. Lots of people in this forum write about switching platforms too. This columnist just didn't write a very interesting article about it....
